At least four people are dead and 20 others have been treated for injuries after a 4x4 mowed down victims on Westminster Bridge before the driver attacked a policeman outside one of Parliament's gates.

Mr Ellwood waited for the air ambulance to arrive after helping paramedics and police on the scene.

He spoke with officers before returning to the Foreign Office this afternoon.

The MP for Bournemouth East has been Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office since 2014 - looking after the Middle East and Africa briefs.

Mr Ellwood said at the time that he believed that his brother's death could have been avoided if MI5 had given sufficient warnings to citizens.

His brother was killed in the second of two blasts that tore through a nightclub. He had to wait three days to find out that he had been killed.

"There was intelligence that said attacks on tourists at nightclubs was expected and indeed there was a (grenade) attack on 23 September.

"With all that in mind the threat levels should have been raised higher," said Mr Ellwood.
